Except it was my birthday yesterday! It’s official, I’m 21. More like Twenty-Fun, am I right? *insert disclaimer about drinking responsibly, because if I have to, so do you* I started off my birthday with lunch at Chicora Alley downtown. Yeah, you know it’s a good day when you don’t do anything until noon and…Continue Reading Party Like It’s My Birthday

I just started watching Grey’s Anatomy. In fact, I’ve had to remind myself that I have never been Seattle and I should definitely not switch my major to pre-med. Okay, actually I’ve been watching too much (I’m watching it right now). It’s a problem, I know. I’m actually going to start a support group for others…Continue Reading Gar’s Anatomy

It’s midterms, again. Apparently they happen every semester. Who knew? But on the bright side, I get to see my best friend on Saturday. Hint, it’s my dog. With Spring Break looming around the corner, it’s hard to stay focused especially with all the stress from midterms and waiting to hear back from internships. But…Continue Reading Midterms, Again?

Y’all, it feels like it’s been so long since I’ve blogged. How have you been? You’re good? You just got that new promotion at work?? Congratulations! And that new hair cut looks really good on you. What’s new with me? Oh nothing much. Just keeping busy like always. I saw Rumors last night done by…Continue Reading Keeping Up with Gar

Lately, I’ve been think a lot about Parks and Recreation. Not surprising, considering it’s the best show to ever be on television and season 7 was just released on Netflix. But the quote – “We need to remember what’s important in life: friends, waffles, work. Or waffles, friends, work. Doesn’t matter, but work is third”…Continue Reading Friends, Waffles, & Work

Since it is the start of a new semester, I feel like I should go over the goals I set up at the beginning of the year in an earlier blogpost. This way I can see what I’ve done well and how I need to improve that way this year can live up to my…Continue Reading New Semester

One final project turned it, one exam completed, another exam in three hours, and my last exam in 24 hours. Finals are here, and almost gone (thank God). Exams may be the W-O-O-ORST***, but unfortunately necessary. This means this semester is almost over. These classes were fun, but I’m ready for a change. I’m also…Continue Reading Finals & the End of the Semester

As Thanksgiving is officially this week, I think it’s important to say thanks for all the fantastic things in my life. The Dining Hall is having their Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow, and I’m too excited. It is literally the best meal they make all year. Last year, I had to climb out my window to get there…Continue Reading Thankful

The leaves are changing colors. It’s getting chilly at night, but not cold. To paraphrase Miss Congeniality – “Describe your perfect season.” “That’s a tough one. I’d have to say fall at Furman. It’s not too hot and not too cold. All you need is a light jacket.” It’s a great time of year for…Continue Reading Fall @ Furman

This midterm  is a milestone in my Furman career for two main reasons It marks the halfway point of this semester which means I am done with 56.25% of my time at Furman I had my first real midterm exams. None of the classes that I’ve had before have had them so I’ve gotten luck for…Continue Reading Midterms
